Rehabilitate taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded a $467,368.42 project grant to the Curtis Airport Authority on July 28, 2025, for the rehabilitation of 750 feet of Taxiway A at Curtis Municipal Airport in Curtis, Nebraska. This infrastructure improvement project is designed to maintain the structural integrity of the existing paved taxiway and extend its useful life through comprehensive rehabilitation activities. The project is scheduled for completion by July 27, 2029, providing a four-year implementation timeline typical of FAA airport infrastructure projects.

The grant directly benefits the Curtis Municipal Airport's operational capabilities and long-term infrastructure sustainability by addressing critical pavement maintenance needs at this rural Nebraska facility. As a civilian airport improvement initiative administered through FAA's Central Region, this award supports the agency's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining the nationwide system of public-use airports. The Curtis Airport Authority, a local government entity operating since 2011, will utilize the federal funding to execute the taxiway rehabilitation work, which is consistent with the Airport Improvement Program's mandate to support airport infrastructure investments that meet civil aeronautics needs across the United States.
